Making an attempt at packing. Starting with helping DD...

 

[1stvisit0909]

Can you try giving everyone some Airborne? Run around the house with Lysol wipes and give everything, especially light switches and door knobs and drawer handles......

check, check and check. and phones, and remotes.

And my poor DD is banned to her room, watching netflix on my ipad.

 

[geckodani]

So excited!

I'm pretty excited we'll be able to see MSEP this trip! I've never seen it!

I can hum the whole thing. And it's my mom's ring tone on my phone, LOL! Can. Not. WAIT!

 

[PrincessAurora27]

That's right! You didn't make it a google document, did you? My schedule is on a google document that I can get to from my cell phone.


So the only overlap we have is on the 16th. We will actually be at MK at RD because we have an 8:20 ADR for Crystal Palace.......then we have a Via Napoli lunch ADR at Epcot at 11:30. We may hang at Epcot after our early lunch if we need to see stuff we missed earlier in the week, otherwise we may go to DTD.....but need to be at Ft Wilderness at 6pm for a Sleigh Ride.

We go home on the 17th

I have all our info in excel spreadsheets that I saved in DropBox, I then have the dropbox folder shared with DBF. We also have ADRs in Google Calendar that we share and syncs with our phone calendars.

We also leave the 17th. Our Sunday looks similar. I intend to use it to stroll WS and DTD. We have a pre opening Akershus (or an 'Ohana). We just have an 8:30 at HDDR.

Still haven't packed ....

Or done my LGMH ....

Or found my shoe storage thingy....

Or printed out stuff that needs printing ....

Or bought my toiletries .....

You are making me twitch!!!! Don't make me come there and pack for you!!

How do you access a google doc? I've got my trip in a google doc but didn't realize I could get to it from my phone!

Um, I may have gotten a bit carried away with the glow sticks...

We use a frio bag for our daughter's insulin and I can tell you from personal experience that it works really well!!! All you need is cold water or water and ice and you just soak it for a few minutes every couple of days. It's really great. I do see that you are leaving in 6 days so I'm not sure if you could get one that fast. Could you maybe have it sent to the resort you are staying at???

We used a Frio bag for 4 weeks across Europe (also for daughter's insulin) and it was fantastic. It kept it cold enough for several days at a couple points. I highly recommend it (if you can get one in time).

And the evil (or genius?) plan is discovered!

I was an event planner. I'm over organized when it comes to the important stuff and I like having everything at my fingertips when I want it. I have the dropbox app on my phone too. It makes it super easy to make a change when I think about it rather than waiting until I get home.

That is awesome!!!! Where did you get the Christmas lights necklaces? Gotta find those...

There's an app for that! What phone do you have?

eta - I went a bit over board on the glow sticks too!!

I found them at Meijer, a local grocery chain. I saw them at CVS today though!

I have an Android - Samsung Galaxy S2.

You know you are officially ready for your Disney vacation when:

-You look for your underwear, and realize it's already packed.

-You log onto the Disney dining site and are suddenly bored as you have no ADRs to search for anymore (not even for fun).

-You start doing touring plans for your friends who are also going in December, but do not know the ways of being a planner.

-You've made ever tweek possible to your own touring plans, testing out every potential snag or toss up.

-You have nothing to post on your PTR.

-You have memorized the exact shows time when Mariachi Cobre will appear.

-Your are posting a stupid list like this on the Roll Call thread.

 

[Wendimn]

Trying to make an ADR and keep getting a server error..the reservation looks like it went through..then the error pops up. Anyone ever have that happen?

Well..just posting this made it go through...LOL I just got ADRs at all 4 parks for our trip in 2 weeks. Now..to just hide the bill from DH when it comes...

I'm not exactly sure how I did it....but I downloaded Google Drive to my iPhone and I can see it from there......I can also see it from another app called "G-Whizz!". From that app I sign on to my google account and at the bottom are tabs....one of which is "DOCS". My spreadsheet it there too.

I think I need check CVS again.

DBF says there's an app called Google Drive that will let you access google docs.

Hi all!

We started the day at Chef Mickey's.

This afternoons we hit EPCOT and completed "drinking around the world". DH and I shared one drink in each country and had a CM sign and stamp the passport I made. All but two CMs were happy to sign and thought it was cute. (The two bartenders at the Mexican margarita stand laughed when we walked away and have us a little bit of an attitude)

No cupcakes today. I really wanted to get the mint one at Contempo cafe, but they did not have them out this morning. I ended up getting the Napoleon from the French bakery.

It was a great day.

 

[M&MGirl1]

D'oh! My mom just told me that she has to take her Byetta at breakfast and dinner (I thought was just in the morning). It has to be refrigerated. I know first aid will hold it for us, and that's probably what we'll do. Anyone have any experience with those frio packs? Other folks on the forums seem to love them, but it makes me nervous for some reason. I think I'd have preferred to try one out before the trip, and I'm not even sure I have time to get one at this point!

Sissy had used a frio pack for her insulin for years. It is a LIFESAVER on trips. She says it is the best travel accessory she has ever bought. They are super easy to use, work great, and I highly recommend them!

 

[M&MGirl1]

Here is a brief itinerary---Kathy, Jordan and anyone else who will be there then. I would love to say Hi if it works out. It will freak DH out, so it may be quick.

12/15 DTD/AK
12/16 DHS/Epcot/DHS
12/17 AK/MK EMH
12/18 resort/MVMCP
12/19 DHS/Epcot
12/20 Epcot
12/21 DHS/MK/Epcot i know it's ridiculous, but it is the last day!

I have no mornings in MK. I may try to go there on 12/16 at rope drop instead of DHS and then go to DHS later for EMH.

Sweet! We'll be at Epcot on the 19th and MK on the 21st too! Hopefully we will all run into a few roll callers on our trips!
